can any one tell me what is wrong with my portage?

Code:
# emerge -pv dev-util/kdevelop

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] dev-util/kdevelop-2.1.5 [3.0_alpha4-r1]

Code:
# emerge -pv media-video/nvidia-kernel

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349-r2 [1.0.4363]



cheers

Did you install those apps manually? Are you running ~x86? Those packages are probably masked unless you run ~x86, and you may have emerged them without the system-wide profile being ~x86, and that may be why your system wants to downgrade you to stable versions.

Use
Code:
emerge -Up
instead. or -uUp

that way it'll only upgrade packages, use emerge --help

Eh... ok....
I get this from emerge -s guile
Code:
*  dev-util/guile
      Latest version available: 1.4.1
      Latest version installed: 1.6.1
      Size of downloaded files: 1,467 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/
      Description: Scheme interpreter

And from emerge -p guile I get
Code:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R  ] dev-util/guile-1.4.1
 
Which seems a bit strange to me.
Since 1.6.1 is installed.. but aslong as it works :P
